Happy Sunday, everyone! Time for a new Paper Players challenge, and this week, Jan has an awesome sketch for us! I REALLY enjoyed playing with this one:
I decided to veer off from doing my Christmas cards and chose to create something decidedly summer-ish! Here we go:
Oh, I just love all these pastel "flavors"!! I had gotten a paper pad called On the Sunny Side from Not 2 Shabby last year and found these beautiful prints and summer elements to mix and match! I started with a Pretty in Pink card and added layers of Lemon Lolly, Soft Sky and Pink Pirouette, diecutting and embossing some of them for interest. The little sentiment was diecut with the Stitched Rectangle die and I fussy-cut the treats:
I stamped a sentiment from Peaceful Moments on the inside using Strawberry Slush ink:
Since this features summertime treats, I am also entering it at Handstamped Sentiments for their "Summer Vibe" challenge, as well as the Little Red Wagon, who is featuring "F" for food!
There are just so many fun possibilities with this sketch because of all the elements! I hope you'll have as much fun with it as I did! Share yours with us at the Paper Players--can't wait to see what you create!
